Both Freeza and now Broly would fit the bill pretty well depending on how much of a fighter Broly really is or if he secretly hates fighting (which would make him even more of the new Gohan).
Can't believe this old fanart might become a real thing on the future (ignoring the fan created GoDs):

Yeah, but I was never a fan of making evil characters good, no matter if they were rebooted. You might say... Oh, but Tien, Piccolo and Vegeta, sure, but these three had decent character arcs to finally change their path it wasn't something abrupt.

I really don’t have a clue if it’s been mentioned, but the Whis vs Broly scene in the trailer looks more to me that Whis is training him.

I don’t think we will ever see Whis (or angels) actually fight seriously, and I don’t think we should neither, but I feel that whether Broly is aware of it or not, Whis is training him - maybe for battle against Goku and Vegeta.

Those fan-made GoDs look WAY better than the ones we got. Its a shame how fans can come up with way better character designs than Toriyama does since the new millennium smh.

...Yeah gonna have to vehemently disagree with you on that one. Several of the ones in that pic have that super generic "macho" look and don't really have a unique look to them. The ones we got were way better even ones like Belmod who didn't have an especially original design but ended up looking really good.

Being more "unique" doesn't necessarily mean better, especially since most of Toriyama's GoD designs are pretty ugly and hilariously bad, especially Quitela lol.

The biggest burning question I hope that gets answered in the movie is whether or not Broly's skin is cold.

A couple of the fan made gods look better but jot.all of them. I'd only replace 3 or 4 or the offical Gods.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that,

Half the Gods we have in Super are just like that of your normal anthropomorphic animal people that you’d always see in the background when watching Dragon Ball and sometimes Z. We have 2 cats, a fish, a fox (B but its a kitsune and i like them so ill give that a pass), an elephant, and a rat. And while the fanmade image also has some animal-like people, their designs still have far more unique qualities than the animal-like Gods of DBS.

I just wish the Gods were more like this:

Each universe had a god based off of a god from a differnt culture of religion. That would have been way cooler

I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

Being more unique counts for something when the alternative is generic fan-fic trash.They don't even look better, they just look downright ugly most of the time. I do like the wolf one though. His little necklace completes the look.

I don't know, I like the GoD designs we got except for the one hideous looking guy that can't remember their name. He's one of the four GoDs of the "better" universes.

Well to be fair, Vegeta's change of side is pretty poorly made, since he was no better the likes of Freeza, him attacking Cell because he killed Trunks was just sudden since before or after the training he didn't show any care for Trunks, Boo saga was a better with this since at least we see him telling Trunks to not push himself too hard while training, it's not much, but it's something, which is what Piccolo when changing sides too.

He did have some care for Future Trunks in Android arc, considering how he lets him follow him around, took pride in the fact that he killed Freeza and become a SSJ at a young age after finding out their relation, and was one of the few characters Vegeta give genuine props to before the Buu arc.

And Vegeta didn't really become a "good guy" until the fight with Fat Buu. Before then, he was a villain (or an extremely dark anti-hero depending on your view) who only sided with the Z-fighters to pursue his own interests.

Well, Vegeta will let people follow him around even if he feels disdain towards them, which is how he felt towards Trunks when they were searching for Gero's lab (He tried to get ahead of Trunks when Trunks started to follow him, but once Trunks transformed to catch up he stopped trying), and he didn't demonstrate any care for Trunks before Cell killed him as far as I remember, closest thing I can think of is him saying that Trunks has almost as much power as him when he was fighting Semi-Perfect Cell, and when they were searching for Gero's lab he remembers that Trunks can go SS, but ends with "Not surprising... He is my son.", so that one was more of him praising himself than anything.
And Vegeta didn't really become a "good guy" until the fight with Fat Buu. Before then, he was a villain (or an extremely dark anti-hero depending on your view) who only sided with the Z-fighters to pursue his own interests.
True, I was just classifying him attacking Cell after Trunks is killed as a selfless action, on a similar vein to his self destruct moment (Not on the same level of course, but it was a start).

I doubt Whis would be training him this early. It’s more of a possibility that Broly was attacking anyone in sight and Whis happened to be in his field of vision. Since he has the rage thing going on, it’s not impossible. Someone in here also mentioned that Whis could possibly be stalling Broly while Goku and Vegeta attempt to fuse.

Not related to your question but looking to the new Bardock design, they should have kept his armbands red. There's too much blue in the Saiyan outfits.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind the change in colors, but there is too much blue on Bardock now, not good. Especially because they also removed Bardock's red acessories he wears on top of the boots. And, of course, no red bandanna.

Hopefully Bardock eventually gets his classic visual.

Any idea when tickets will go up for pre-order? How soon before release did BoG and RoF tickets go on sale?

Based on what they've said, the release for this movie won't be nearly as limited as for BoG or RoF. Pre-ordering may not even be necessary, unless you just want to see it on day one.
